Coach Talk

Grapplers
Listen Grapplers, we're "glass half full" kind of coaches. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring's slipped lately, we'll choose to take the high road. Averaging 129.14 points through Week 14, our crew has certainly proven that it's even stronger than the 97.22 we needed to win this past week!
Paul's Perfect Team
So, Paul's Perfect Team, what'd your receiving crew do to get written out of their teams' game plans this week? With only 12 total targets this past week, our four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) clearly need to get on their QBs' good sides this week in practice.
